Oh, those squirrels!

Well, here are the 3 new projects that have been started.  It has been great working on UFO's, but this gal needed something new in her life!

First,  another 2" x 4" finished size block.  This is for a birthday gift in November.  Need to get cracking on this one.

Next, some stars.  Charm squares are being used up to make these blocks.
Finally, some triangles being done using EPP method.  Jocelyn at Canadian Needle Nana is making these too and they sure caught my attention.  This project is just the ticket as I was needing a new take-along project for the cottage and for the garage.  Perfect!
The saga of the real squirrel continues.  More and more cedar seeds are appearing on this deck as well as under all the cedar trees on our cottage property.  A lot of the older cuttings are drying up very well and are turning brown.  The newer ones are green and will need a few more weeks of drying.  Is this squirrel trying to tell us something about our coming fall and winter?  A few days ago while we were at the cottage, flocks of Canada geese were heard late in the evening and early in the morning.  They are on the move and is it early this year for the migration to have already started?  Nighttime temps. are cooling .... under 10C these past few days.  The hummingbirds will soon be heading south.  Fall is around the corner and trees are starting to turn colour.  Soon, it will be time to put away summer clothes.
  
My getting around is improving but stairs are still a bit difficult, but getting better.  The more I move, the better it is.  Hand rails and I have become fast friends!

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

Very interesting squirrels. I do hope you enjoy stitching those triangles as much as I do...I love the convenience of having them prepped and ready to settle in with stitching. Thanks,btw, for the mention. My goodness, yours are so nice and even too. What a wonderful stitcher you are Rose Marie!

Good to see that the squirrel is still at work.....love the new projects, especially the stars. We had a rail installed on our front steps a few years ago when I had to wear a boot for a fractured foot; it's only four steps, but that's still enough to fall.
